| [00:14.24] |
Well I caught my wife with another man |
| [00:17.60] |
And it cost me ninety nine |
| [00:22.02] |
On a prison farm in Georgia |
| [00:25.68] |
Close to the Florida line |
| [00:27.14] |
Well I'd been here for two long years |
| [00:33.58] |
I finally made the warden my friend |
| [00:38.00] |
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease |
| [00:42.05] |
Taking care of Ol Red |
| [00:46.05] |
Now Ol'Red he's the damnedest dog that I've ever seen |
| [00:50.82] |
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail |
| [00:57.44] |
He's a four legged tracking machine |
| [01:02.01] |
You can consider yourself mighty lucky |
| [01:04.59] |
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds |
| [01:10.21] |
But all these years that I've been here |
| [01:13.51] |
Ain't nobody got past Red |
| [01:18.47] |
Shelton Blake |
| [01:19.08] |
And the warden sang |
| [01:20.04] |
Come on somebody |
| [01:20.84] |
Why don't you run |
| [01:21.94] |
Ol'Red's itchin'to have a little fun |
| [01:24.84] |
Get my lantern |
| [01:26.40] |
Get my gun |
| [01:28.05] |
Red'll have you treed before the mornin'comes |
| [01:34.47] |
Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter |
| [01:40.25] |
To my cousin up in Tennessee |
| [01:41.85] |
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound |
| [01:47.97] |
She was pretty as she could be |
| [01:52.04] |
Well they penned her up in the swampland |
| [01:55.95] |
'Bout a mile just south of the gate |
| [02:00.60] |
And I'd take Ol'Red for his evening run |
| [02:03.92] |
I'd just drop him off and wait |
| [02:08.08] |
And the warden sang |
| [02:08.93] |
Come on somebody |
| [02:09.63] |
Why don't you run |
| [02:12.09] |
Get my lantern |
| [02:13.44] |
Get my gun |
| [02:18.47] |
Red'll have you treed before the mornin'comes |
| [02:33.66] |
Now Ol'Red got real used to seeing |
| [02:36.88] |
His lady every night |
| [02:41.34] |
And so I kept him away for three or four days |
| [02:44.55] |
And waited till the time got right |
| [02:48.87] |
Well I made my run with the evenin'sun |
| [02:52.59] |
And I smiled when I heard 'em let Red out |
| [02:57.36] |
'Cause I was headed north to Tennessee |
| [02:59.47] |
And Ol'Red was headed south |
| [03:04.43] |
And the warden sang |
| [03:05.63] |
Come on somebody |
| [03:06.44] |
Why don't you run |
| [03:08.89] |
Ol'Red's itchin'to have a little fun |
| [03:12.06] |
Get my lantern |
| [03:13.62] |
Get my gun |
| [03:15.23] |
Red'll have you treed before the mornin'comes |
| [03:20.55] |
Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South |
| [03:24.11] |
Love got me in here and love got me out |
